Morning, Welcome to the forum! That looks like a very well maintained and cared for Yeti. Hopefully it stays pretty much trouble free for you 👍🏻

Moisture in the antenna base on the roof. My Amundsen+ satnav in my mk2 occasionally throws a hissy fit like this, had me somewhere in the British midlands once, while I was driving around near home in South Tipperary… Ireland…

Looks like a light surround for a latch? Looks like the seatbelt latch

Yup, On a mk 1 you moved the switch to the dipped beam position (12 o clock) then push in and twist clockwise until it stops. Then pull out to remove the switch assembly. Can’t see the basics of the switch type having changed much..

Pretty sure there’s a few Brisky members could’ve saved you 3quid 😉

Morning and Happy New Year! Welcome to the forum (possibly the first new member of 2026!

I’m starting the spin out for people to discuss Linux (including myself..) Have at it here @Lee01 @Graham Butcher and @MikeTheThinker Leave me chuckle thread alone 🙃🤣🤣

Welcome along, And, if you get into contributing, yeah, you’ll be busy diagnosing gremlins for people 🤣 What age/ spec Octavia did you pick up?
-
Given you’ve had the egr replaced and the dpf, even though does seem similar in symptoms to that failing… Does that engine have an N75 equivalent? Ie the boost actuator solenoid. Sounds to me like cold running is causing the turbo to not spool up. And it’s being chucked into limp mode. Thus it’s okay going down the hill as there is a lot less load on the engine.

Morning. Being in Bristol you’re very close to where this whole forum started 👍🏻 You are right too, it is a very friendly place 😊

Morning! Welcome to the forum 😊

I dunno, but I’d say it may have more to do with a certain “B” word leading to government decisions on trying to keep foreign procurement within the EU Zone. I know it’s caused us several pains in the arse with tendering for equipment and services that get awarded to UK suppliers. Even down to stupid stuff like the D&A urine test kits our CMO and random/post incident screening service use. Ended up with dozens of us having to be recalled for repeat testing because the samples being held in storage while a paperwork snafu - who’s paying the customs, us or the supplier? (Ultimately us, but directly or via the supplier on a re-charge..) - went on so long the samples were deemed compromised.

Imagine the flow of electrons as the same as water in a pipe - you push water in one end and the water in the pipe already gets shoved out the other end “instantly” bringing water to you flowers, or electricity to a light bulb, but it isn’t really instant. We are getting closer to our own French interconnector being ready, but it’s going to cause chaos with all those French speaking electrons mixing into our native English/Irish grid electrons. I really hope my toaster is able to translate!
-
But as @Aspman has discovered, those cheap night rate ones are the wrong type of electron for some batteries 😂😂
-
Mine is Present but blanked out and ECU coded to not look for it. You may be alright if the maf was historical. Hopefully it was and stays like that..
-
…. So cheap electricity is now being treated like 87ron versus 99ron super unleaded? You need more expensive electrons? 🤣🤣

You have made several repeated comments that have led me to the belief you don’t accept climate change as being real, nor that the consequences are real. And facts are facts - vehicle emissions are a major part of the global co2 issue, so you comment about tailpipe emissions very much ties to that same view 🤷🏻♂️

I don’t think so tbh. The mk1 has a better chance, as the original of the species, but even then I reckon only the WRC version will be really valued- only 100 of them, and check the register.. a lot are now bean tins.. Have to remember what these cars are to most people who know about them - VW’s reheated leftovers from old Golf GTI’s. I’m not slagging them off, I think they are great and just wish I could find a few in my budget to justify the change, but… they are most likely never going to get much traction (lol ) as a classic outside a very select few.
-
I see you’re still not accepting of the reality of climate change… you need to read and accept the cookies from a few more sources so your algorithms stop pipelining your viewing recommendations. ( just a friendly suggestion) IF the EU policy is changed, then it won’t be because of your reason. It will be because of the reality that no country has the grid capacity or generation capacity in place or possibly in place to supply the electricity needed for majority EV private vehicles to be on the road by 2030, and continuing with the push to that deadline wasn’t feasible. For it to become possible, we all need to accept that nuclear power is clean and safe. And there are modular designs that use much less fuel and produce a lot less waste than the stuff everyone thinks of from the 50’s/60’s (which were only pushed as the main design because it produced byproducts suitable for weapons…) Renewable does need investment too, but it can’t cover everything unfortunately. Fusion in my lifetime would be the ultimate game changer…
-
Given the power gap from the mk1’s up to the new ones, and let’s face, a mk1 octy/ furby is now a min 20/21 yrs old, finding a couple of actually unaltered, and running clean and well ones was probably a challenge. So they were never gonna be giving much newer stuff a real run. Even losing 1 horse a year they were gonna be down a good bit. That said, I do think they both did incredibly well!
-
Fingers crossed, but keep an eye on it. Esp with those implausible maf readings. That’s stage one of a sticking egr too, which is incredibly common on the 1.6 cayc engine.. had mine deleted (blanked and mapped out) last January
